I've just released a new version of the dietHotplug package. It can be
found at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linux-hotplug/diethotplug-0.3.tar.gz
or:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/diethotplug-0.3.tar.gz
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/diethotplug-0.3.tar.bz2

Changes since the last release:
- added support for IEEE1394 hotplug devices. This hasn't been
tested very well due to my lack of devices. Testing is
welcome :)

- moved the library files that hotplug needed from dietlibc into
the release tree. This removes the external dependency on
dietlibc. I have only tested the i386 arch build. People
with different architectures are encouraged to test and send
me patches for where I messed up the build process for their
machines.

- now tries to load _all_ modules that match the signature of
the inserted device. Previously only the first found one
would be loaded, which is a bad thing for some drivers (mostly
pci drivers.) This fixes a number of reported problems from
different users.

thanks,
